The official, Christopher Waller, a member of the Fed's Board of Governors, cautioned that inflation is still too high and that it's not yet certain if a recent slowdown in price increases can be sustained. “I am increasingly confident that policy is currently well-positioned to slow the economy and get inflation back to 2%,” Waller said in a speech at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington think tank.

The Federal Reserve will need nearly four more years to cover a historic operating loss and start sending profits again to the U.S. Treasury, according to new research from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The losses are a product of the Fed’s rate rise cycle which saw the central bank sharply increase its interest rate target while at the same time shrinking the size of its balance sheet, both of which are being done to make monetary policy tight enough to cool high levels of inflation. The pincer movement of these two policy actions drove the Fed to start losing money in September 2022.
